Default Cam Position Sensor

Buddy can not find a cam position sensor for his 99 standard. We have looked everywhere and the dealer says back ordered till September.
Any help locating part 32496-99 cam position sensor would be greatly appreciated.

I can't help with your search fopr the OEM cam position sensor...

I can offer another possibility....

I am assuming you have a carb, correct?

You will need to call them and confirm, as I haven't researched this in several years, but.... Daytona Twin Tec offers TC88 ignition modules. It used to be, that if you used one of these ignition modules, you could disconnect the cam position sensor, as they don't use it like the later Twin Cams that no longer have one.

It's a little more expensive than a new Cam position sensor, but it will give you the ability to tune your bike, AND unplug that old CPS...

https://daytona-twintec.com/product/...-cam-ignition/

If you want to get the bike running ASAP, and you may do engine mods in the future, using one of these ignition modules would make sense...

Again, call and verify they still don't need/use the CPS.....

Good luck..

Got to be kidding, since I can find a handful of aftermarket 32496-99 for as low as $28 plus shipping dollars.
Amazon Amazon

And with the heat problem in the nose come, would pick up a few of the off brands, since will be going out just as fast as the same HD ones. Hell to prove a point, HD did away with the cam sensors on later twin cams, and just used the crank sensor alone. So may want to just look into deleting the cam sensor in the first place if possible.

Those look like the correct one ,but they are a different part number. He replaced this sensor 11 years ago when it went bad, so that is pretty good service with over 100,000 miles too. He found one on E-Bay and bought it. Had to replace both sides of the plug it goes to also. Thanks for the help.
Twin Tec sounds like the way to go to me.

I think the aftermarket with the different number works. but doesn’t have the “kill the engine” if the bikes not upright function. (Whatever that’s called)

1999 runs a separate bank angle switch (sensor, part 32495-98),is not part of the cam position sensor like the older evo's.
